La primera vez que escuché uno de los pódcasts, no podía seguir nada. La siguiente vez que salió un podcast, pude seguirlo, pero nunca logré distinguir quién hablaba . . . Inma o Silvia. Ahora, en este podcast, creo que ya lo descubrí . . . ¡Ya sé quién habla porque la voz de Inma tiene un pequeño toque de «vocal fry», especialmente al final de las oraciones! Chicas, ¡no cambien nada!
Hola Garry
¡Qué buena observación! Nos encanta tu comentario porque muestra que has mejorado muchísimo. Si antes era difícil para ti entender el pódcast y ahora puedes reconocer nuestras voces por pequeños detalles, eso es un gran progreso👏. Y no te preocupes, ¡no vamos a cambiar nada!
